A storm of controversy has erupted after Temitope Ajayi, a presidential aide, reportedly suggested that a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member deserves the death penalty for allegedly insulting President Bola Tinubu. The corps member had referred to Tinubu as a “terrible president,” a remark that Ajayi condemned in the strongest terms. The statement has triggered intense debate over freedom of speech, with critics calling it an alarming escalation in government intolerance toward dissent.
